Name's Jason Thibeault. I'm an IT guy, skeptic, feminist, gamer and atheist, and love OSS, science of all stripes (especially space-related stuff), and debating on-line and off. I enjoy a good bit of whargarbl now and again, and will occasionally even seek it out. I am also apparently responsible for the death of common sense on the internet. My bad.

Free for all

Okay, so I’ve decided to open up comments to everyone, registered or not, and test out this akismet plugin. If you want to prove you are who you say you are, registering is the best way to do so. If you don’t care that someone could fake your name, then feel free to post your drive-by-postings. Akismet should be able to take out the spammers so I feel fairly safe doing this. Have fun!

Yeah, “Bob”, it really does allow anonymous posting. It just didn’t show up because I had to rescue your “spam-like” post from Akismet’s pile. It’s not COMPLETELY anonymous — I can see what IP you posted from, and thus, if you’ve also posted under a real name, who you really are.

I’m guessing it called it spam-like, because that site you picked, pickone.com, is apparently a spam portal.

I just used pickone.com to put in a website. I didn’t actually expect to see this posted under the comments as I assumed that it would be picked up as spam, which in essence it was. I haven’t posted under a real name before and won’t for the foreseeable future. My reasons are valid but far to mundane to waste your time with here. By now you should be getting a clue as to this is.
